Guaranteed Pacquiao could keep fighting and clean out WW again with 2 years.
Beating Khan, Garcia, Crawford, & Brook.

Guaranteed he would not.

Garcia and Brook beat him. I'm not sure about Crawford.

The May/Pac era is over, Floyd knew when to hang em up, I hope Manny does too.

If he keeps fighting he'll get knocked out again within his next three fights.

Manny is shot, happens to the very best of them.

GREAT THREAD!! Just think if Pacquiao got to fight Mayweather six years earlier and there were no IV's. He would be the greatest of this generation!

Pac can be #1 now that the real best of this generation is done.

Being the best comes along with a lot of hate and jealously. People loathe perfection and loathe watching someone do what they never could. Or make their favorite fighters look ordinary. Go ahead and hate and comment into infinity but always know Floyd is and always was better than Pac, there is zero doubt about that. Anyone who knows boxing and really understands the craft always knew this. Only know nothing fans and Pac addicted blind mice didn't see it.

I know it burns and really hurts but just accept it and move on.

Floyd was always more skilled, but better we will never know.

As a fighter, Id personally rate Manny higher than Floyd, because he had more intangibles. At his peak, he could attack from the kind of awkward angles that Maidana does, and use his feet to be everywhere at once. He was a nonstop ball of fury, that just decimated everything put infront of him.

Out of all of their common opponents. Floyd has only beaten Marquez more impressively and decisively than Pacquiao did, and a large reason for that performance was a massive size and reach advantage. Moving Marquez up two weight classes for the fight, at a presumed catchweight of 142, and then coming in at 147.

Fighting Pacquiao 6 years after his last stoppage, and still getting hurt atleast twice in the fight leaves questions as to what would have happened had they fought in 2009.

Not gonna happen. Manny is way past his best.

[hardvibes]

He's finally gone. Time to party.

[lfc19titles]

never, he is a cheat who abused peds his whole career. Had he fought clean, then yes you would be right

Pacquiao isn't shot. He's TOO good to be shot.. The only thing that'll affect him is if he suffers more injuries. Floyd has declined a lot more IMO.

floyd's ped use leaves questions as to what would have happened had he not been using ped's.
